One of the topics for the Science curriculum for 5th grade is the Solar System. For students to realize that the Earth revolves around the Sun, we will be observing the moon nightly and recording the changes we see. Students will be required to draw the changes they see on paper. These changes will be shared daily in class. Students will also write in their Science logs the changes they see. They will also write responses to question the teacher will pose.
